Current trends in nanomedicine and nanobiotechnology research

Abstract

Applications of Nanoparticles and nanopharmulations in drug development and drug delivery have been an extensive field of research to find out the alternative better therapeutics. The past research in nanomedicine and nanobiotechnology mostly emphasized on improving the profile of existing drugs, however, a recent pattern has seen in variation of field and aspects studied using nanomedicine. The current nanomedicine research has oriented in developing new drugs based on the interaction of nanoparticles on targets like cancer therapeutics, development of new biosensors, bioimaging (cellular and in vivo), new vistas of anti-viral drugs, besides the most researched field of nano delivery of drugs for cancer, diabetes, anti-bacterial, and other ailments. An overview of current research trends is presented based on the literature published at different platforms in recent time.
